Quaternary Science Advances, 2023 All glaciers are subject to mass fluctuations in the current context of climate change. For daily requirements like food, drink, irrigation, and the generation of hydroelectric power, these glaciers provide water to important basins including the Indus ...

Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.

The influence of changes in glacier extent and surface elevation on modeled mass balance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 Glaciers are widely recognized as unique demonstration objects for climate change impacts, mostly due to the strong change of glacier length in response to small climatic changes.

Accelerated Shrinkage of Glaciers in the Altai Mountains From 2000 to 2020
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Mountain glaciers are an important component of the global hydrological cycle. Existing research about glacier changes in the Altai focused on limited regions. Study about recent glacier changes in the entire Altai Mountains is still lacking.

A comparison of glacier melt on debris-covered glaciers in the northern and southern Caucasus [PDF]
, 2011 The glacier coverage in the Caucasus Mountains underwent considerable changes during the last decades. In some regions, the observed reduction in glacier area is comparable to those in the European Alps and the extent of supra-glacial debris increased on

The Mass balance modelling of Spitzbergen glaciers [PDF]
Polar Research, 2018 This thesis deals with a series of mass balance studies carried out on two glaciers in north-west Spitsbergen, Midre Lovenbreen and Austre Broggerbreen, using an energy balance model. A general description of glaciers, including their classification and the manner in which their surfaces may be sub-divided, is carried out.

Can shrubs help to reconstruct historical glacier retreats?
Environmental Research Letters, 2012 In the 21st century, most of the world’s glaciers are expected to retreat due to further global warming. The range of this predicted retreat varies widely as a result of uncertainties in climate and glacier models.
